Where is the ifcfg-eth0 file in Slackware?

Hi,
I am trying to fix my MAC address on a Slackware 10 machine. I can change the MAC but when I reboot it goes back to its default number. I read that in RedHat you can edit this address in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file. But I can not find this file in Slackware.

with this command you just search the / partition (whole system) to find the file named <filename>.for more options take a look at man find...

Thank you

I did not know about this option. I tried doing a search with it but it came up empty. I find it kind of weird that this filename does not exist. I even used the GUI to search text in files for the word HWADDR: but nothing showed up. Is slackware listing this under something else?

Thanks for showing me how to do the search. I am checking out the man pages for "find"

This is the type of help I appreciate. Not giving me the full answer but pointing me in the right direction.
